i have access to a wholesaler, left over from my contractor days.

this flooring (http://evokeflooring.com/laminate) sells for nearly $5.00 per sf at places like carpet exchange and lumber liquidators, the underlayment is already attached to the product, it is very high quality laminate, I have four kids and am very happy with it.

I can get it locally through my wholesaler for less than $2.00, i paid less than $1100 for 650 sf in our kitchen and formal dining. pm me if you would like to head over to the showroom and browse.

they have carpet and all kinds of tile, hardwood etc. if anyone else needs a deal i can set you up. you need an invite from me or another contractor to get in.
